TOR range rover classic

[CliftonRover]

so the plate on the back says TOR and it says land rover original also. The truck has a sticker with 1974 on it, but thats not a good thing to judge its age. you say its a 81, because its a 4 door, I feel like I knew that too. if its 1 of 50 should I not cut the body in half?.

A good way to judge the age would be the VIN ..

If its a Monteverdi, its a rare beast and I would get it appraised.

I do not get the point about cutting the body in half

Like I was trying to say, the Montevedri's are the only 4 door Rangies built prior to 81, if it is, then you have a little treasure.

Again plz get me some pics

From what I can tell from the pics, its probably an 81, the 82 had a coin tray in the middle of the dash replacing the speaker grill.

the serial decode is quite simple...
SA- Solihull
L - man subdivision
LH - Model code (in our case RAnge rover)
A - 100 inch wheelbase
M - (B- 2 door M-4 door)
V- 3.5 V8 (carb)
2- steering/Tranny code (1-RHD 4 speed,2 -LHD - 4speed, 3- RHD auto, 4 LHD Auto, 7RHD 5 speed, 8 LHD 5 speed)
A (model year code)
Serial number..

With this info you can decode your RR..


Hope this helps
